Kathryn Jane "Kate" Worden is an Australian politician. She is a Labor member of the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly since 2016, representing the electorate of Sanderson.

Worden moved to Australia with her family in 1981, attending school in Adelaide. She moved to Ngukkurr in the Northern Territory in 1985.

Worden was an Alderman on the City of Darwin Council for three years. She was the Chair of the Community and Cultural, and Arts and Cultural Development Committees. She has been critical of Lord Mayor Katrina Fong Lim.

Worden challenged Deputy Chief Minister Peter Styles in his seat of Sanderson. She won in a rout, taking over 63 percent of the vote on a swing of over 16 percent amid the CLP's near-meltdown in Darwin. She actually won enough votes on the first count to take the seat without the need for preferences.
